Lord Nelson's Mega Cannon :: Pixel Art Detail

That is so cool.

sweet building

Of course you won, again, awesome job!

A worthy winner. Well done, man

You’re the best!
Aroooooounnnnnnd!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down...

the update of the animation makes it just another bit nicer, very very cool!

NapalmSquid: Thanks! Yeah i agree, after fixing the exit  flight on the pigeons I made the same mistake of having them fly back in too quickly and all at the same time. I think I need to randomise their movement more, slow them down and try to stagger them too. Funny how those damned birds have been the most difficult part to get right!

Superb stuff!! I think you're work is by far the best on this competition.
However, the return of the pigeons is not very natural.

This one right here is deffinately my favourite, Good luck :)

best of the bunch. Great job, man.

Thank you everyone! I've been completely bowled over by the response to this, very gratifying since I spent virtually all my waking hours this weekend working on it (And no lie-ins!).

CircleOfTheDarkOnes & AdamAtomic: I totally agree that the animation is too fast at some points, some extra frames, especially on the pigeons and elsewhere (the Lion's flashing eyes should be the speed shown in the preview image) would have helped smooth out some of the jitters, but I kinda ran out of time and steam towards the end.

I wanted to do the reverse transformation at the end too - the column reforming, the statue reloading and the pigeons returning. Perhaps I'll come back and add those some other time (Is that allowed with Weekly Challenge pieces?).

HawkEvil: Yeah, the background in preview was an after thought. Perhaps I'll try adding it if I have the chance to revise this piece. 

Stu

truely amazing.

no-one beats this entry this week in my opinion it should make it into the weekly showcase top 3, and maybe even top 10 of the month (only the thing is that will probably not happen )

Hilarious idea and good animation! I think, statue will fall on this place and will destroy this construction. Though, possible this is ballistic missile. %)

Great work! Looks like a really difficult job and you pulled it off really well!

haha this is hilarious and awesome.  A few more frames here and there couldn't hurt, but great job anyways!

This is pretty cool, but it doesn't transform completely or as much as it could have. Nice work anyway.

ah damm i lose.

hehe!

Simply spiffy, and the little clockwork gears and birds flying gives it that extra little touch

The description seals the deal. Start thinking of what challenge you'll submit once you win ;)

I like this alot. It even has a great story behind it. Good Job. 5/5 and this is definetly the winner as I see it.

Deffinetaly the winner in my eyes. I just wish it had the background you have in your preview pic.

I think the birds are too fast, besides that it's perfect.

Winner! Love it.

You win.
